I don’t see the hype with Utah. My bet is Denver runs past them by 5 or 6, at least.

Bucknell and Mercer. Danehy going back to PA should be a good matchup.

The last two meetings were one-goal games. And, while Denver is hungry due to it being Tierney's last year, Utah is likely chomping at the bit after how last season ended.

McMinn is a pretty underrated coach and they return a few top shelf players plus that extra playoff (even play in) game is always valuable.

Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold

Bucknells offense is going to be dynamic, I see this being a 18 or 19 to 10 type game.

That is what is intriguing. That is Danehy’s offense and if he can get his now defense prepared then it could be a great game to watch.

Catamounts v Orange.
1. Will be there, that in itself makes it the most exciting game of the day.
2. Despite waking up to minus fourteen degree temps with a predicted game
time temp of minus two, the playing conditions will be perfect. Lacrosse is
meant to be played outdoors and blah, blah, blah.
3. Cats will come in hungry, knocking off the Orange would be a real tasty
treat for them.....Cats have been pretty good lately too.

4. First chance to see a healthy Hiltz back and hopefully a new looking O
with ball movement and off ball movement (if I'm on Hiltz's team I'm cutting
every time he touches the ball).

Now that's funny. There's a whole lot of pizzin' and moanin' that goes on about those soft Orange playing indoors and in perfect conditions.....has been for many years.
You must not be paying very close attention.

1 goal game last year and 3 of Denver's top 4 scorers are gone (entire first midfield incl. Hannah). 5 of Utah's top 6 scorers were Sophs last year

Hopkins @ Jacksonville should be a one-goal game

Don't forget UT also beat Jacksonville by 6 last year and also plays JHU early season. Not saying that one correlates to the other but just sayin?

I think a lot of Utah’s success will come down to the goalie situation. They return a really solid team, but they didn’t have a particularly consistent goalie last year, and that guy is gone. Apparently they have a good freshman but I will believe it when I see it.

My brain hurts trying to figure out how those two facts are correlated to the week 1 games
